Reading stories with Deb
Activity in the outdoors on the field
Building pathways for ping pong ball investigation

There is always so much to do at ELF, we never have time to get through it all!!!🥰

Lots of World Cup activities, finding flags to match, sorting facts about different countries.

Investigating pathways - can we blow our ball around it using a straw?

Science experiment - what happens if we drop skittles into different liquids? Prediction and testing.

Lots of questions, teamwork, collaboration and friendship.

We also had two new visitors and as always our children welcomed them to ELF.

This was a question I was asked about our ELF learning provision on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Yes we do! The children have the opportunity throughout the session to practice yoga using our set of cards. There are also printed cards available for different breathing techniques which we also support with if a child feels overwhelmed.

Sometimes at the end of a session we lie down, focus on our breathing and learn how to relax and soften our bodies.

Our founder, Deb, has many years experience as a wellbeing practitioner so it is an integral part of ELF.

Wednesdays and Thursdays we offer a theme & play based learning provision for 4 to 10 years. There is a balance of indoor and outdoor learning. This is a drop off session from 9.00am until 2.00pm in Arnold, Nottingham and costs £15.

Fridays we offer small group project based learning for 8 to 13 years. The themes run in 6 week blocks and the children work towards badges. There is a balance of indoor and outdoor learning. This is a drop off session from 9.00am until 2.00pm in Watnall, Notts and costs £40.

Both sessions are facilitated by experienced teachers (our values didn’t match the system) who firmly believe in holistic development and putting the individual at the heart of everything we do.

Coming soon! - Monday group for 8 to 13 years and Tuesday learning provision for 4 to 10 years.
